"I have this thing that when I’m really nervous, I have this thing where I say something really appropriate … "

Apparently even Charlize Theron gets tongue tied when she meets famous people — or at least when she comes face to face with the leader of the free world.

On Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday, the Mad Max: Fury Road star revealed to JimmyKimmel that when she met President Barack Obama on the set of the late night show, she briefly lost her mind and invited him to a strip club.

Recalling the incident, Theron recounted how Obama had said that he liked being on Kimmel because it helped him to reach a younger demographic. Theron replied, "Well, if you’re looking for a younger demographic, I can take you to a strip club."

"I have this thing that when I’m really nervous, I have this thing where I say something really inappropriate and it’s like Tourettes," she tried to explain.

Theron was visibly still haunted, covering her face in her hands, laughing in horror: "But then I couldn’t sleep for weeks because every time I closed my eyes, I went, ‘Agh, oh my God, I said that.’ "

She added: "Michelle Obama is going to kill me!"

Kimmel told her to big laughs, "If you said that to President Clinton, you would probably still be there."
